Currently, Walter is the foreman of the operation and resides on the second floor of the building. Walther's brothers, David and Bobby, work there as well as a couple of cousins and several locals. Over the years the operation has grown and the creamery has expanded. Rail service is brisk at the creamery. In addition to the daily incoming milk cars with cans picked up along the line, there is the daily milk car with internal tanks that takes the daily collection to the bottling plant. Ice is available for the farmers from the ice house (left end) to help keep their milk cold so every couple of weeks a refrigerator car arrives with a load of ice. And coal for the boiler is brought in by rail; since the creamery is too small to handle a full car load, it is shared with two other industries in the area. The operation of the creamery is very simple. Local farmers bring their milk to the creamery daily using the ramp on the back, it is checked for quality, and then added to the tanks. Farmer's milk cans are cleaned immediately and the farmer picks them up at the door just past the ramp and takes them back home for the next day. Milk cans also arrive by rail after being picked up by the 'milk train' at various milk platforms along the mainline. The collected milk from the tanks is then shipped out daily. As with all B.T.S. kits, this masterpiece is laser cut and engineered for easy construction. Slots and tabs eliminate alignment problems. Adhesive-backed window sashes make glazing the windows a snap. All window 3 sashes can be positioned open or closed. The kit includes the 40+ detail castings shown, including the three workers, to provide a high level of realism. This kit consists of laser-cut basswood, plywood, and cardstock.

The creamery was inspired by those serviced by the NYO&W Railway. HO Scale #27305 O Scale #17305 Dodson Farm's Milk Platform Best way to insure that Dodson Farm's Creamery had a good supply of milk was to make it easy for the dairymen to get it to them. For farms too far for the daily wagon or pickup drive, the company built platforms along the main line where milk cans could be dropped off for pickup by the local milk train. Empty cans were returned later. As with all B.T.S. kits, this kit is laser cut and engineered for easy construction and features interior bracing and a positionable door. Milk cans are included. This kit consists of laser-cut basswood and plywood. The footprint is a scale 25' x 11'. Track and scenery are not included. The HO model is shown in the photos.

  • Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers
    Containerized Grain Supply Chain in Western Canada: Opportunities and Regulatory Barriers Dr. Barry E. Prentice Professor, Supply Chain Management I.H. Asper School of Business University of Manitoba Synopsis The containerization of grain is a growing trend internationally. Many western Canadian grain shippers would like to source-load containers on the Prairies, but most shippers are forced to trans-load at the ports after their grain arrives by other means. The problem is the Revenue Cap. This regulation creates a double disincentive that discourages the railways from moving grain in containers. In addition to the lost marketing opportunities for farmers, this regulatory barrier impedes the use of containers to serve as an elastic supply of storage and transport during demand surges. The removal of the Revenue Cap would encourage development of a contestable market based on a competitive containerized grain shipping supply chain to rival the bulk system, such that shippers could always receive the lowest cost means of reaching foreign destinations and the best customer service options. Introduction The most significant innovation in transportation during the past 50 years has been the introduction of containerization. Container shipping has grown rapidly because it reduces the cost of port handling, improves cargo security and permits the establishment of global supply chains. As the volume of world trade carried in containers has increased, ship size and port facilities have grown, creating a virtuous cycle of declining costs and expanding service. This productivity is matched on the land side by double-stacked container trains and drayage trucks that have made containerization the preferred global door-to-door logistical system domestically and internationally.

  • The Vibration Impact of Heavy Freight Train on the Roadbed
    Procedia Engineering Volume 143, 2016, Pages 1136–1143 Advances in Transportation Geotechnics 3 . The 3rd International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (ICTG 2016) The Vibration Impact of Heavy Freight Train on The Roadbed Andrei Petriaev The Petersburg State Transport University (PSTU), St.Petersburg, Russia [email protected] Abstract In this paper presents field studies of vibrodynamic impacts from passing heavy trains on the roadbed. The movement of railway rolling stock cause oscillations of the track superstructure, which manifest themselves in the form of noise and vibration. The increase in loads and speeds of trains leads to a significant increase dynamic vibration effects on the roadbed. As a result of this exposure the intensity of the accumulation of uneven residual deformation of the railway track increases, that affects not only on the roadbed, but also on constructions of buildings and construction. Keywords: heavy trains, roadbed, vibrodynamic impact, the attenuation of the amplitudes of the oscillations. 1 Introduction The Increasing the carrying capacity of the railways should be decided by the intensification of the existing rail network. Firstly, it is planned to increase the weight of trains by increasing the linear load on the track and increase the length of trains. For these purposes the railways acquire heavy-duty eight-axle wagons with axle load up to 250 kN and powerful locomotives with loads up to 270-300 kN/axle. In recent years, the construction of rolling stock and track superstructure have undergone substantial changes, which, of course, reflected in the subgrade. At the same time, constructive solutions roadbed remains essentially unchanged, but its operational state, in some cases, characterized by a decrease of the elastic properties and bearing capacity.
